Discovering the Himalayan Footbridge

This hike of approximately 7.5 km highlights one of the most original passages in the Semois valley: the Himalayan footbridge.

The route takes place in a very wooded environment, with a long climb towards the heights, several balcony sections and a striking panorama from the Roche du Chat.

The Semois remains the guiding thread of the loop, sometimes crossed, sometimes visible below from the forest paths.

Start and beginning of the route

The route begins with crossing the Himalayan footbridge, suspended above the Semois river.

This passage immediately offers a beautiful feeling of height above the river, before joining the forest paths on the other bank.

After the footbridge, the path remains relatively gentle at first before gradually gaining altitude. The main ascent leads towards the woods and hills overlooking the Semois river.

Return to the starting point

After passing the Roche du Chat, the route gradually descends back into the woods.
